MBES141/Themodynamics Exercise 5.29 At steady state, a power cycle receives energy by heat transfer at an average temperature of 463°C and discharges energy by heat transfer to a river. Upstream of the power plant the river has a volumetric flow rate of 67.87 m³/s and a temperature of 20°C. From environmental considerations, the temperature of the river downstream of the plant can be no more than 22°C. Determine the maximum theoretical power that can be developed, in MW, subject to this constraint.
